Even so, it's hard to shirk it anymore.

Ruan Zhen could only walk forward in small steps, and stopped a foot away from Gu Huai in a very measured manner.

She didn't see clearly what was hidden in the man's dark eyes, but the strong smell of blood in the air immediately hit her nose.

Ruan Zhen's breath was stagnant.

His eyes fell on the man who couldn't see the blood stains clearly but was covered with a moist ink.

No wonder, he didn't enter the house and just let Changfeng pass the message.

Ruan Zhen straightened her body uneasily. Her fingers tightened unnaturally in an instant.

Gu Huaizhi's wound opened and his chest hurt terribly. He even vomited a mouthful of blood on the way back home. He didn't even utter a sound, but disgustedly wiped the blood on his palm onto the already dirty roe deer.

The man's face was slightly pale, and there was blood at the corner of his mouth. Between white and red, and dark eyes, it was very strange and terrifying.

He raised his head and met Ruan Zhen's frightened eyes.

The blood on Gu Huaizhi's hands had long solidified, and the corners of his mouth curved in a cruel way, and his voice was harsh and cold: "Look again? I will kill you too."

Kill you too.

also?

Just such a sentence made Ruan Zhen leave the Duke's Mansion top-heavy, and even when she got on the carriage back to the Mansion, she still didn't feel relieved.

Look at Tan Yun again, trembling and twisting into a ball.

"My servant originally thought that my cousin was scary, but when I met the prince, I realized that a small witch is a big witch."

"Fortunately, I will leave tomorrow, otherwise, the girl will be in his hands and it will be over."

Ruan Zhen didn't say anything, but she was still frightened.

She is afraid of blood.

Ever since Ruan Xi left, whenever I see blood, I feel a pang in my heart.

Ruan Zhen closed her eyes, her long and curly eyelashes trembling slightly, and she heard herself pretending to be calm.

"Mother Ge left the house today on the pretext of visiting relatives and will not come back. Tomorrow I will find a way to let you leave halfway. Just go to Baifu Inn, and Mother Ge will wait for you there."

"Where is the girl?" Tan Yun looked worried.

Ruan Zhen: "Fan Kun's spy has never left. However, even with great supernatural powers, he cannot enter the general's mansion."

She had already planned it well. The back door of the General's Mansion is the alley, and all the way forward is the Baifu Inn.

"At dusk, when the sky gets darker, the streets will become more lively. It's the best time to go out of the city."

After returning home, Ruan Zhen had a hasty dinner, took a bath, blew out the lamp and lay down.

Tomorrow's escape made her uneasy, and her heart beat very fast. She covered her chest with fine white catkins, and she wrapped herself in a brocade quilt helplessly.

On the other hand, she was frightened and frightened by Gu Huaizhi, and the pressure on her nerves forced her to have no sleep.

The night was getting darker, and she didn't know how long it had been, but her breathing became calmer.

Ruan Zhen had a dream.

In the dream, she was crying.

Fan Kun stood aside and comforted her guiltily: "Sending you to the Duke's Mansion is also a bad idea, but now the situation is unstable, and it seems that I will be the next to fall. The Duke's Mansion is in danger."

The next moment, the scene changed.

She was lying on a strange bed, panting feebly.

Her vision was blurred, footsteps were heard, and someone was approaching her. Then she sat in front of the bed.

She struggled to open her eyes.

It's Gu Huaizhi.

The blood from the man's mouth dripped down, hitting her delicate and crimson face.

He smiled strangely, stretched out his hand and used blood stains to draw a hibiscus flower on her right cheek.

"Look again? I'll kill you."

——

Because of this dream, Ruan Zhen felt groggy when she woke up the next morning.

She stared at the curtain with her watery eyes for a long time, unable to recover. She pursed her red lips, slowly got up, dressed, washed and had breakfast.

Xu was nervous, but Tan Yun had not slept all night, and the green powder under his eyes could not be covered.

She trotted into the house.

"Girl, Mrs. Xu sent Mrs. Wang here to urge you."

Ruan Zhen nodded in response.

He took Tan Yun out and took a look at the cage-like courtyard he had lived in for many years before going out.

No nostalgia at all.

A smile appeared on that hibiscus face.

She said softly: "Those dresses and jewelry are not worth a lot of money, so just don't take them with you. You can buy them after you leave Lin'an. The memorial tablet was taken away by Mother Ge yesterday. Just leave and don't look back. Don't look back."

Let people notice the clues.”

Tan Yun took a deep breath: "Yes."

The master and servant did not speak any more.

Ruan Zhen looked normal, but her palms were sweating.

But here, Mrs. Xu has been waiting outside the door for a long time, and she is already impatient.

She didn't expect that Ruan Zhen, a pretentious little person, would dare to make her wait!

He simply didn't take her seriously.

She was so angry.

Especially when she saw Ruan Zhen coming in all her glory, with nothing to find fault with from top to bottom, Mrs. Xu's face darkened.

As soon as Ruan Zhen walked in, she started sarcastic.

"I am also your sister-in-law after all, but you are setting up a big show here."

Ruan Zhen said without any pain or itch: "It's my fault."

Mrs. Xu choked up: ...How do you tell her to answer it?

Without saying a word, Ruan Zhen brushed past her, held up her skirt, and got into the carriage with Tan Yun's help.

Mrs. Xu almost didn't catch her breath.

Ruan Zhen! Actually! Ignore her!

"you!"

"Sister-in-law, hurry up."

Ruan Zhensu raised a corner of the car curtain with her hand. From the corner of her eye, she glanced at Mrs. Xu, whose face was distorted with anger. She left a word and bent down to enter.

Xu:???

She angrily followed him into the carriage and sat down opposite Ruan Zhen arrogantly.

"Grandma is afraid that you won't behave, so she wants me to keep an eye on you."

Ruan Zhen glanced at her, her heart was racing, and she was very nervous. She had no time to argue with Mrs. Xu.

She didn't even raise her head, and kept holding the handkerchief between her thin white fingers, which was quite perfunctory.

"oh."

Mrs. Xu: That’s incredible!

"Rack." The coachman shouted, and the wheels rolled over the ground.

Mrs. Xu had nowhere to vent her anger, so she could only raise the curtain of the car coldly and curse: "You hell-seeking slave, you didn't even say a word before setting off and bumped into me. How can you afford to pay for it with your humble life?"

Then, there was the driver's humble cry for mercy.

Ruan Zhen continued to pull the veil.

Seeing that the journey was halfway through, Ruan Zhen's eyelashes trembled and she finally had a reaction.

When she loosened her grip, the teacup fell from her palm.

There was a 'pop' sound and tea splashed everywhere.

"What's going on!"

Mrs. Xu looked sideways at Ruan Zhen, her eyebrows on both sides of her eyes were raised and lowered. She held her flat belly with one hand. She was careful and prudent, but more funny.

Ruan Zhen looked at her and her voice was soft and confused: "I forgot the rabbit."

"What kind of rabbit should I take to the general's mansion? I'm not afraid of offending the nobleman. No wonder my grandmother asked me to keep an eye on her."

Ruan Zhen said vaguely: "That rabbit was given by Mu Jiu."

Yes, Mrs. Xu is impressed!

At that time, she was disliked by Mu Jiu on the street!

She said angrily: "Then why don't you go back and get it! If you offend Miss General's Mansion, it's enough for you to eat a pot."

Ruan Zhen smiled gratefully at her.

Mrs. Xu: Damn! This little vixen is so pretty.

Ruan Zhen lifted the car curtain and called to Tan Yun who was sitting outside.
Chapter completed!
